I used to love Nora Roberts but her stuff started to seem sort of hokey to me. I am glad I took a chance on this one. It has a love story but the main character is very layered and complicated, which I liked. Plus, there was a lot of suspense.

This book made me sad with the awful family situation Elizabeth lived in, I wanted to yell at her stupid Mother. It left me very tired as I lost sleep because I couldn't stop listening. It made me happy to see Elizabeth defy her awful mother and find her own way. It made me very happy that she found a wonderful man with a wonderful family to finally realize what family love was all about.

This is the first audiobook I've listen to for pleasure. I enjoyed it very much and was very impressed with the narrator. The story was interesting, entertaining and had a good sense of humor when appropriate.

Would you recommend The Witness [Brilliance Audio Edition] to your friends? Why or why not?

This is an entertaining story that seems to be trying to be the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but lacks the mystery and punch. Things turn out a little too rosy for people who like true crime and action books. The story line holds one's attention and great for entertainment while doing other things.

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelan’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Moves along. Listened to Gone Girl before it became a film and that was better.

Could you see The Witness [Brilliance Audio Edition] being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Was probably written to be a film to capitalize on the theme, but no longer unique.

Any additional comments?

Lack of reality in the character development--a little too much as one might imagine.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Witness [Brilliance Audio Edition] to be better than the print version?

I would not want the print version. Julia Whelan's work here has brought me pure listening enjoyment.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I favor Abigale because of her courage, strength and honesty. A close second is Brooks because of his patience, strength and integrity.

Which scene was your favorite?

There are many humorous and heart touching scenes. When she reveals her true identity to Brooks and when he gives her a special gift after the trial.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When she said Yes.

Any additional comments?

This an interesting, enjoyable story of courage on the part of a young woman who is extremely intelligent and resourceful, brought together with a good man. Whelan's narration of the story is captivating.
